If you start right now you stills have 2 weeks to commit to the preop regimen. You can do it! ❤️

of course a Protein Shake is not going to make you feel full. You are going to be hungry the whole time you're on the pre-op diet. You just have to white knuckle it. It does get better by about day 3 or 4 when your body goes into ketosis.

I'd make sugar free Jello almost every morning and eat the whole thing in the evening, just because that was the only thing I could have that resembled food (i.e., somewhat solid...). I was also allowed a limited amount (a think a cup each) of broth and Tomato juice (or V8), so I had both of those every day as well. The salt in those make me retain Water, so I felt a little "fuller".

My surgery is Feb 10th as well. I didn’t find out the date until this week and I had already eaten the day they told me .. I started liquid diet yesterday and it isn’t easy - I went to bed early and I stay out of the kitchen . It’s only Been one day for me but I am hungry too. We can do this ! Remember why we are doing it and the life we can have after.
